Weather Report: Brief showers in the night, but you'd never know when the sun comes up.
Staff Briefings: Weeell... about that...
Daily Events: Something very strange has is going to happen in the hotel today. When the clocks strike midnight, and July 12th begins... for twenty-four hours, anyone who sleeps - at any time - is going to have a very similar dream.
The little details and personal touches will be different in every dream, but the gist is the same. Every guest will dream about suddenly becoming a member of the hotel staff. In the dream they will feel strangely proud of their new status, and a strong desire to help the guests. Every staff member dreams about becoming a guest. For those staffers who were already a guest... yep, you guessed it. They'll dream about being one of the first people ever to become a guest, find redemption, and somehow screw it all up and become a guest again.
That by itself could be weird and unsettling enough, but that's not all. At about six AM, three separate guests wake up from their dream and... well, go soft. The hotel registers that they've gone soft, inform Michael, their rooms are emptied, and the brand new softies automatically know to go report for duty. This is worth mentioning because it's never happened before. A guest 'going soft' is usually very predictable. It takes months or years of build-up, and usually the staff knows it's coming. Two guests have never gone soft on the same day before. What's more, one of the new softies - a woman by the name of Roberta Ferry - has been a guest in the hotel for less than a year, and showed no signs whatsoever of going soft. In a place where various members of staff always have running bets about the next one to go soft, her name doesn't appear on any bet. She was a woman in her mid-twenties, and never had any problems in the hotel. No one's ever heard her say a bad word about anyone, she was always quick to join in with activities, very friendly and outgoing. It's possible that something in her dream triggered her breaking point, but unless staff members start talking about their dreams with each other and realize they all had the same dream, no one's going to put two and two together and figure that out.
